If there’s one thing you want out of your website, it’s conversions. Conversions for you might mean product sales, calls, contact form fill-outs, or even email sign-ups. Whatever they mean to you, they are why you built (or are building) your website in the first place, which means that you need to keep them in mind in everything you do.
